Profusion of Profanity
The more of the modern "horror" genre I get exposed to more disturbed I am about where we are going with all of this.
I think, for me, it started with the retake on the hills have eyes or somesuch, I read a review referring to the category of "torture porn" to which this film belongs, in the reviewers judgement.
I never heard that term before and it really made me reconsider how we are desensitizing ourselves to all dehumanizing imagery and ideas.
I vowed never to watch these types of movies again.
I failed, saw one or two (probably one of the SAW movies) stopped again, and then less so and less so (a couple times total), and now I think it has been quite some time since I saw anything of the kind.
Now seeing this exists (noticed on IMDB, have NOT watched it), DAMN.
What is wrong with people.
RAPE.
That is what this movie is about...its commission and consequences to the perps....but this is an expansion on a preexisting story....the only way the genre continues is if we keep RAPING....more violent more grotesque, until that too becomes "RAPE PORN"!!!
How far should we go with this ladies and gents ????
Perhaps we should do I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE 3, and rape a couple of children, and when people are finished being entertained by that, then in 4 maybe we should rape some dogs and cats, or we can blend genres and include a zombie outbreak infect a family in 5 where a family rape and cannibalize each other, or 6 in which a woman is raped by the child she gave up for adoption, who then gets raped in jail waiting for sentencing, then the child of this incestual rape becomes of age the father comes "home" from prison and proceeds to rape his daughter for an hour or so of the flick.....hey, that's entertainment!
There is a saying, some wise person once uttered, and it bears uttering now and again.
"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should"
Some kinds of films we just shouldn't do, not because of laws, but a sense of common decency, its bad enough we have made torture into entertainment, but now RAPE, should we have no limits???
I leave that an open question to you all!!!
